In this episode, I talk to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author of "How to Raise An Adult."

Lythcott-Haims talks to us about "existential impotence;" the need to let our kids experience failure; how to think about and navigate the college admittance process; and her own journey as a parent. It's a powerful and informative chat. Download it now!
